If Tunisia managed to achieve this breakthrough, it will divert Tunisia's economy and country's future to a prosperous one. I think we shall all watch closely this move.

Hi,
That is a good post and I believe desalination systems should powered not only with solar but also with both solar wind energies. This give the top results after reading several studies.

Great efforts Dr. Hazem. I think water specialists in our region needed to pay more attention to transpondery water related issues.
water is a boarders cutting issue, and it's being a power game.

Thank you Dr. Hazem for always towing us toward water issues; as it is one of the huge challenges in our region, it is a being issue. Public opinion is always busy with political conflicts and wars; ignoring water that maybe one day becomes the core of politics and life.

Valuable information and thanks for the usaid for their support
samah-abd-elazis
I fully agree that most people in ME are not aware of such great achievements and contribution from USAID. public awareness is the key issue for all aspects.
aeead-hillis
Oh, I am happy to see my post is not banned. Usually my comments are never showed up in most blogs/forum. Thank you to accept my comment and will use your respective forum.
samer-elbadery
Agree with salameh to coordinate it with other donors and integrations are a challenging task
salameh
Excellent explanation of the USAID huge water program; thank you very much HE Dr. Hazem. I think that water ministries and utilities shall be strongly maintained to get the maximum benefits out of such programs, to coordinate it with other donors programs and to integrate it with its future plans.
This is a very big sustainability issue.
halim-sabir
USAID is very powerful organization, they know what they are doing and very professional . Thank you USAID for all your support to Lebanon and all MENA region. There are a lot to do in our countries still...
kareem-isa
I also would like to share the arabic version in my own blog. I will link it once it available.
Thank you for such nice work
raffy-fakhoury
The report is about MENA region so Palestine is include in the MENA countries but maybe they did not list it in this report because they do not have big project over there or maybe they have it in other report.
not sure but thanks for the USAID for such valuable contribution
issa-kanaan
looking forward for the arabic version. I am very interested in this post.
thank you for making this available
monim-sarraf
Very useful article. It is the first time to know about such US organization doting all these project in the MENA region but i agree with Mr. Aeead-Hillis where is Palestine in this report ?

I see your post is there, I respect this Forum, it is open for every one.
aeead-hillis
First of all, I hope this forum is transparent and will accept my comments. 
As you know water scarcity could render Gaza uninhabitable by 2020.
I really appreciate the effort the USAID is doing for the arabic countries but why they stopped their support for Palestinian ? Even they did not list Palestine in their report. 
Again I hope MEWF will not banned my comment! 
Thank you 
tarq-asad

khaled-basha
I have read before that one important solution for jordan is to connect the red sea and dead sea with a canal, but what is the progress of this project? does the USAID is part of this solution. This could provide drinking water to all north part of jordan. 
tarq-asad
I am an active user for this nice forum but interested in the arabic page. Why we do not have an Arabic translation. I have shared this article in my facebook page, but people asking for translation.
Please let me know if you will add arabic translation. I tries to use google translate but it is really so bad, it gives not clear text. thank you
georg-mroujs
Jordan and Lebanon have high priority for USAID’s water and sanitation! That is really interesting to know, i can not imagine what would be our situation without such support.
dr-hazim-el-naser-1
I am glad to see that the water programs at the top list of priorities of USAID in the ME. These programs benefit all layers of societies in particular needy people and Women. Actually, this is what we need water and education.
Dr Sam Khader
USAID is one of the largest aid agencies in the  MENA Region.  It contributes to several initiatives and regional programs in water and sanitation .  I found this article very insightful and informative as it gives some idea about  what USAID is doing in the MENA region. I would like to thank USAID for their vision and support for the middle east region. I believe  people in the Middle East are not fully aware of what USAID activities are!
hassan-aboelnga
Thanks for sharing such great insights from USAID on water security as a key to achieve the SDGs in MENA region. Investing in water security is critical to ensuring regional stability, promoting economic growth, and improve the daily lives for the residents of the MENA regions.
